modern cavity construction, service voids designed in, plasterboard on dabs. Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
The awkward part of ev charger installation on a Caerphilly new-build isn't the install — it's the route. Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
We map the route at survey, mark it up on a photo, and price against that specific plan. Nothing gets discovered mid-job that could have been priced at quote stage.
Focus on the utility room or garage, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
Priced against your new-build's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.
Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
Wiring generation on this stock is typically current — often 17th or 18th Edition compliant at handover but with no headroom. On a new-build you should expect us to flag: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed; no SPD retrofit, which the 2022 amendment now expects; EV cable stub left by the developer that terminates at an isolator, not a working charger.
Materials and methods we spec on new-build house work: spare-way CU add; SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure; OCPP-compliant charger onto the developer stub. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
Across CF83 the new-build stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.
Not unless the quote says so. On period stock in particular we route through floors, lofts and non-original plaster; cornices, dado rails and original panelling stay intact.
No. The stub usually ends at an isolator inside the garage. We fit the OCPP charger, test the full circuit back to the CU, and certify to BS 7671.
Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. new-build estates in Bedwas, traditional valley terraces in Senghenydd, and detached homes towards Abertridwr — the new-build is a recognisable slice of that mix.
Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck. We mark the route at survey and price against it.
